Hair Raising Tale Told by an Ann Arbor
Janitor.
ANN ARBOR, MICH, March l4.-This
town has three times been startled by re-
ports emanating from different .ianitOrs Of
the Court House that the building was
haunted or at least that very singular mani
restationS had occurred. The reports were
discredited, but whatever the ianitOrs saw
visibly affected them, and they were not
SOry when they found other employ
mcnt.
Martin Crawford the latest ianitOr, said
to-day that about three o'clock this morn
ing he heard indistinct and mutfled voices
as ii half dozen men were engaged in an
gry debate, and also rs of wheels being
| rolled over the tiled floor OF the corridors.
Crawford lives in the basement with his

noises without awakening his wife.

| hall. The noises then seemed TO come

Society. Crawford is not superstitiOus
and he at first attributed the disturbances

| GHOSTS.
But Crawford claims that when he
opened the door of the Pioneer room three
forms stood in the centre OF the apartment
and that he diStintly recognized rs one of
the group eX County Surveyor Pettibone,
who has been dead many years. Another
! of the party reSembled the late Judge
Kingsley. The third form Crawford says
was that OF an unusually tall and thin
man.

floor where some object lay. but at this
moment the janitor swOOned. He was clad
only in his nightshirt, and was very cold
when he regained consciousness. The
figures had disappeared.
Crawford is q sober man and entirely
truthful. People think he was dreaming
and walked in his sleep, but the ianitor
declares he was perfectly wide awake.

The Drawing Of Juries.

Mr.. R. I. Semmss, member of the AL.
leghsny county bar had made formal
protest against the manner in which the
Jurors were drawn for the term of court
which began in Cumberland on Monday
Of last week. The principal point, as we
learn from the Cumberland News, is that
under the law the members of the bar
lave the right to object to the placing on
the list from which the juries are drawn
OF persons they deem unfit for such service
Judge Hoffman, upon the assembling of
the court, and after having charged the
grand jury, took occasion to refer to this
matter Of drawing the juries, doing so, he
said, because the matter had been ven,i-
sted in the newspapers. He said he had
no apprehension that there was any irreg-
alarity in the manner of the drawing.
The practice WAS the same AS that pursued
by his predecessors, though this would Le
90 justification il the method was illegal,
but it was strictly in accordance with the
spirit and letter of the law. He then de-
scribed ut some length the various require
ments Of the law on the matter and said
they had all been complied with. The
whole responsibility Of drawing the juries
was on the court and not on the members
Of the bar or anybody Sc. The law pro-
vided that members of the bar should be
present at the drawing 80 that it should be
done fairly and publicly, just 10 the same
way as the counting Of election ballots is
done publicly. The Law did not contem-
plate that lawyers should select their
friends to serve on the jury. Judge Hof-
man added that he should at all times be
to any one who would furnish
lists of persons who would make suitable
jurors.
Mr.. Ssmmes formally cha lenged the ar
ray of the grand jury on behalf OF two
persons whose cases are likely to come be-
tore it, on the ground that the whole jury
was Improperly drawn. He will also
make objection 10 imiaal and civil cases
in which he is counsel, a. they come up
to trial, for the same reason. He will file
; written objection or plea, and the matter
may 60 to the Court of Appeals for settle
ment

steps are taken to obtain the adjudication
of that tribunal upon this point, it is fair
to assume, in the light of the slaughter
house cases." that its decision would ex-
clude Maryland from the operation of the
clause referred to.
1t is to be hoped that the next Legisla-
ture of Maryland may be induced to give
some attention to this matter of so much
Importance to many people of this State.
Gen. Butler and other prominent lawyers
have expressed opinions favorable to the
validity of these claims; and in the light
OF al! that can be said in its favor it is not
just for the State Legislature to assume to
ignore it. We think it would be right
for our people in this section of the State
to exact some pledge in this regard from
the men they elect to the next General
Assembly.

Surveyor Warield's office is the first one
of the presi denti,l places in Baltimore to
become thoroughly democratic. When
the surveyor took charge in June Of last
wear he found one democratic clerk al
ready in, Mr.. W. F. Busey. who had been
appointed by Surveyor NALL from the civil
service list. A few weeks af,erwsrd Col.

veyor and a democrat made messenger

In less than . month there has been
complete revolution in the financial stu
alton in New YORK. On the 18th OF De-
cember, it will he remembered, Wall street
was crying aloud for money. The bank
reserve was down to four million dollars,
and 80 difficult was it to obtain loans that
as high as 1884 per cent. was paid for mo-
ney. The s,ringency created panic, and
at one time seemed likely to unsettle thu
business prosperity of The country. Ii
less than Is days the situation is changed
The banks hold nearly S15,OOO,OcO mor'
than the legal reserve. Their deposits

When the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill comes up for
consideration in the House, the probabili-
ties are that there will be lively discus
sion over the proposition TO increase the
salaries of the civil-service commissioners
as suggested by the President in bis last
message to Congress. 1t is ssid that the
President would like to see this entire
question fully debated. and that was hts
principal reason for recommending add
tionaE compensation for the members Of
the co miaaion. s--tlem------
lations with the President are quite friend
". and who accepted a responsible sp
Monument from him early in the present
administra alton, agrees with this view oil
the situation. He says the President had
several times demonstrated against the
personal attacks made upon him because
he has endeavored to carry out the civil
service law as he found it when ha took
the executive chair, and that he has
grown weary OF the abuse heaped upon
him by politicians who have been disap-
pointed in placc-huutiug. The President
takes the ground that Congress enacted
the civil-service law, and there is nothing
| left for him to do but to execu'e It. II
Congress is tired of the statute it can b
repealed, and when the proposition to In
crease the commissioner salary comes uE
the members Of Congress will have the is
sue squarely before them.

The Senatorial cont 81 in New York,
Illinois, Tennessee, Texas and Indians,
are warming up the politicians in these
States. The first two named will probably
return Republicans to their seats in the
United States Senate, while Tennessee and
Texas are as certain to send Democrats.
Indiana has democratic majority of two
on Joint ballot in its legislature but is
likely, it is thought, to have lively time
there owing to determined efforts on the
part OF Republicans in the lower house to
unseat two Democrats and thus tie the
legislature on joint ballot. Senator Har'
rison will probably receive the Republican
support while the veteran Mcdonald vii
be the centre of the Democratic rally.

peated charges against Judge Fowler OF
